Inspired by the most beautiful sunsets. For me, it is an almost religious moment, an experience that we have the luxury of living every day. They are moments of intimate and private contemplation, and have the power to make us see the most beautiful side of life. I believe that sunset is proof that no matter what happens, the day can end beautifully.

Add milk_shake’s new Sweet Camomile take-home product range to your salon’s retail selection, just in time for the bright sun of Spring and lazy hot summer days ahead. There’s no better time than spring to switch up a cleaning regimen when seasonal changes can render your clients’ regular products ineffective.

Help your Clients Nourish and Maintain their Colour with the Perfect Spring Hair Care Routine for Blonde Hair Blondes have unique Spring strand needs Blonde hair is pretty much the epitome of “Spring” but sunshine is a mixed seasonal blessing for fair-haired gals. It feels heavenly, but it also has a nasty habit of lightening the melanin-pigmented colour of strands, changing the appearance of the hair. Sweet Camomile Shampoo is the colour-conscious, gentle solution to protecting your natural highlights and pigmentation from damage. True to its name, sweet camomile contains glycerin extract from organic camomile. This powerful natural remedy is known for reviving and intensifying those gorgeous golden tones. It’s also infused with our proprietary Integrity 41, a compound crafted from sunflower seeds that protects the stability and brightness of the hair strands. Extra Care - Sweet Camomile Conditioner and Sweet Camomile Leave-In Conditioner But melanin isn’t a blonde’s only enemy when it comes to spring sun exposure. Nature’s tanning bed also leads to dryness and tangling. For the unmanageability of warmer weather, we’re all about Sweet Camomile Conditioner. It complements the colour-maintaining properties of its shampoo counterpart, and takes things a step further with powerful conditioning agents like panthenol and rice bran oil to leave hair silky, shiny, and more manageable. To combat dry, tangly, or dull-looking hair, we recommend spritzing Sweet Camomile Leave-In Conditioner onto towel-dried hair, as a little leave-in power to maximize colour maintenance, softness, and strength all day. Spring is a time to come alive, to refresh, to cleanse, and to thrive. Give your blonde hair the same treatment as your life and your wardrobe and infuse those locks with season-appropriate nourishment.

But after what I have learned and how my personality has changed, I would never change this experience for anything in the world.” – SA cruise ship stylist Lushe Carstens who sailed around the Caribbean and Mexico.

These last couple years have been hard for everyone. While everything around us seems so bleak and falling apart, naturally I am craving strength and beautiful things. In this collection I wanted to portray exactly that, strength and beauty. I felt deeply about creating strong silhouettes and bold definitions of design and color. It was as though to remind myself and others that no matter what happens around us, there is an intrinsic tenacity to humanity that always finds the way and the strength to make it through.

I’d love to introduce myself, my name is Carmel Veron and I am a curly hair specialist, based in the heart of Hillcrest-KZN at Cerése Hair Design. What is a curly hair specialist? I specialise is all types of curly and natural hair, from wavy to curly, kinky and coily, helping women and young girls embrace the natural hair they are born with. Everyone has different types of curls and what I love most about curly hair is showing ladies and girls that curly hair can be beautiful and showing them how to work and manage their natural hair. Times are changing and we are moving towards an era where woman are embracing natural beauty and textures more and more each day and being a curly girl myself I had to hop on this natural hair movement! I find there are not many curly hairdressers in KZN and I am proud to say I am one of few who specialises in curly hair. Curly hair can be so easy with the right skills! Curly hair definitely does not need to be a challenge. I would love to share my advice and techniques with other stylists and we can help your clients embrace those curls and wear them with confidence!
